chapter5 (7:08-9:03)
Peter Kenney singing Jaskiers song to the Dryads sounds really pleasant.
Framework plot of Jaskier telling Geralt news. War calculations; dying soldiers; sacked cities. Geralt decides neutrality was a mistake.
Centurion@Decurion: "Don't kill loot or rape" Decurion@soldiers: "don't kill, only loot horse food and keep rapes quiet and out of sight." ...Wow :|
Glimpse at what Emhyr's up to.

chapter7 (10:19-11:50)
Ciri got found and captured by Nilfgaardian adjacent folks. Everyone wants the money for delivering her.
They run across more despicable men (CW: Jokes about rape.), then some Rats appear.
Murder and an escape, the rats take Ciri in, Mistle rapes her after preventing Kayleigh from doing the same. Was this scene necessary?

chapter6 (9:03-10:19)
Unicorn foreshadowing?
Ciri fell into a desert, walks through it, almost dies, then Unicorn ex machina. Drawing power from fire is dangerous and intoxicating. Gives Falka visions. Unicorns are surprised she relinquished the power, grateful for healing one of their own.

Sorcery schemes and foiled coups.

chapter3 (3:44-5:25)
Banquet at Arathusa. Geralt can't keep his eyes to himself and every sorceress (minus Phillippa who is said to "have lost interest in men ages ago" which doesn't keep her from flirting) wants a piece of him (as usual) but only Yen gets eaten out tonight.
Mage-history, Vilgefortz and Geralt's humour.
Geralt's stamina.

Chapter1 (00:00-1:40) Witchers are called by their original polish name (Wiedźminie?) in the pre-chapter "quote", that's good.
Cold open with a post-rider.
Geralt kills a manticore off-screen.
Codtingher and Fenn present a truly enjoyable scenewhich explains and sets up future developments beautifully.
Post-rider end to conclude the frame of the chapter.
